Yottaa Brings eCommerce Acceleration as an Application in the Episerver App Marketplace
RAPID inSITE enables brands to gain full visibility into how their website is currently performing and see how third-party technologies and other site elements are impacting page load time. Studies have shown that third parties account for up to 75% of site latency and that slow-loading pages result in lower conversion.
"Episerver App Marketplace is mission-critical for companies looking to customize their technology stack without the hassle or headaches associated with customization," said Karen Chastain, senior director of global alliances at Episerver. "While Episerver is an end-to-end digital experience platform, our goal is to offer unparalleled accessibility to the best-of-breed software our customers want to use.
California's Prop. 19 could spur home sales if passed - Marketplace
In 1978, an anti-tax crusader named Howard Jarvis led a taxpayer revolt in California. Facing rampant inflation and soaring property taxes, voters overwhelmingly adopted Proposition 13, which set property taxes at 1% of a home's purchase price and kept annual increases to no more than 2%.
"We have proven here in California that we the people, not the politicians, are still the boss," Jarvis said after the measure passed.
Since then, Proposition 13 has loomed so large over the state's finances and real estate market, voters have faced more than 30 ballot measures to change it. One of those attempts, Proposition 19, was on the ballot this week. Backed and bankrolled by the California Association of Realtors, the measure would allow people age 55 or older sell their homes and take their tax breaks with them, up to three times, among other changes. (As of publication, the outcome was still too close to call.)

What's been driving strong auto sales? - Marketplace
We’re in the middle of a historic election, and the economy keeps chugging along. We get an update on an important sector for both manufacturing and retail spending Tuesday: sales numbers for cars and trucks in October.
* * *
Back in April, with COVID-19 surging and the economy shutting down, production at auto plants dropped precipitously . Automakers retooled to be COVID-safe, and by May they'd started ramping up production again.
But Kristin Dziczek, vice president of industry, labor and economics at the Center for Automotive Research, said there still aren't enough vehicles on dealer lots to meet demand.

There's a new quarantine palette for painting houses - Marketplace
Kai Ryssdal: So this might be the simplest opening question in an interview I have ever asked, but here goes. Paint? Really?
Kyle Chayka: Yeah, yeah, I think people are just so bored of staring at their walls that they have wanted to repaint them.
Ryssdal: Tell me about this engineer you started this piece with because it is just symptomatic of so much of what’s going on.
Chayka: Yeah, so Maris Mann-Stadt, who’s an environmental engineer in Massachusetts, found out, discovered, that she was really not using the dining room of her home very much during quarantine because no one could come over. And she and her husband started using it as an office. But the dining room was painted this kind of dramatic dark salmon color. And it was not helping when the sun went down, and everything got even darker. So they decided to repaint it.
California ballot measure keeps "gig" in gig economy - Marketplace
At least one race that delivered a clear and decisive victory on Tuesday: the battle over the future of the gig economy in California. Proposition 22 exempts gig drivers from state law AB5 , which would have forced the gig platforms to classify them as employees instead of independent contractors, with all the added benefits that status brings.
Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and other app platforms spent more than $200 million promoting the measure, which passed by a comfortable margin. Its success means drivers will remain independent contractors with some new limited benefits, like a pay floor and contributions to health care and accident insurance, and could have implications for the gig economy beyond the state’s borders.
